God gave me Owen so that I could go to bed at night believing that maybe Josie's naughty behavior isn't a direct result of my bad parenting skills. Tonight he ran and gave Owen a second kiss after Josie laid on the floor face down when I asked her to give grandma a kiss. In just one 24 hour period she yelled at me for lotion because her pee pee was totally red. She yelled "Jesus!" when I dropped a dust pan on the floor. When I hot mad at her for pouting she told me "mom, I am just being a girl."
The only naughty thing Owen did today was slap Josie in the face during one of herany tantrums. And really he was just doing what I wanted to do but was too afraid. It's hard to punish him for being a better parent than I am.
